Boardroom Chat: The Holiday Of Thanksgiving | Jesse & Cathy Duplantis

a nice hotel or something or if we go to a really nice buffet or something, eh, I can. Don't eat all the different items that that man Oh my goodness it's too much but sometimes you know Kathy likes to be sure I'd rather go to a buffet because maybe I want some more gumbo or maybe I want another chicken wing , but you don't get that when you serve. Look, but you can walk up there and say yes, but we eat too much and when we go to the Buffet, well, that's probably true because there's Abundant Supply, but I just appreciate you wanting to try everything.

I mean, oh yeah, I remember when I love. It's when I go to a buffet because I believe whatever, especially in Hawaii. You are one of the biggest fruit eaters I have ever seen. You return with a plate of fruit. I seem to look at it and think you're going to eat all that and you know we're going to be talking and she's going to clean that plate and then you're gone, it's time for me to go get my eggs Jesus, how can you eat so much? Not too much information too much information. I was trying to tell a story, okay, for Thanksgiving.

I like to create what I call a masterpiece, you know, putting the right things in the right place, enough around them, you know, so that the sauce doesn't spill on the wrong thing, it's an art. It is a great blessing. I should take a photo of it. I'm going to say it. I'm going to tell people this and I'm going to tell them now. This is Thanksgiving Day. It is a blessing from the Lord. Now you know. I like leftovers, so since we go out to eat and then you can't, don't go to the buffet here and bring the leftovers home and eat your lunch, uh, give me some, uh, you know, make me a turkey breast . or something, put it in the refrigerator so you can bite it at night or something, come on, he likes the gray ones.

I like the gray ones. I'm like a cow. I like grace. You know, let's see what else I want. uh uh while I'm away, I'm making my request but my request is a supplication with Thanksgiving, it's scripture. I want some pimento cheese, some cheese and you know, maybe it's a smoked turkey. I prefer to smoke turkey. Know? little piece like that I don't let myself see what else I want. I've been thinking maybe I won't let you know how about pecan pie or uh, but I'm not a big sweet eater, but I like pecan pie, but I mean.

I'd rather have lost and gained the same 20 pounds 100 times and the difference is it's not because of the sweets, it's because of the shepherding, you know, I like that second helping, like my mother always said we were poor. I wonder why poor people said clean your plate boy, clean your plate and we have a little bit, then we clean the plate, I mean, you know, sometimes and I like that second, that's what gets you up weight, you know that kind of thing and we're not going to talk about escaping, no, no. Man this is giving you, you're going to enjoy your overflow, yes Glory, sweet too, so I put in my request and my supplication, wow, I'm thinking about it, oh God, yes, I never heard God say that I have to pray for that, he said.

Thanksgiving and it comes and the peace of God look oh I have the peace of God that she will do this oh yeah I'm always looking for ways but I'll make sure that hey John just call my house and tell Alana to go to buy. The things she does are like she kicked me under the table. I need healing right now. Everyone praises the Lord and the peace of God. Don't know. I don't understand why they don't have the peace of God. I got it. in three in three Fashions the peace of God the peace of God and peace with God then the peace of God is your possession of peace adequate resource the peace of God when you are not talking to him you know that he is there and peace with God When you stand before him you are not trembling, you are in awe and awe of who this God is.

You know and let me give you an example of that. You already know. I love the Hubble telescope. I love space and one of my favorite shows. It was Star Trek and all that kind of stuff, you know, I like all that and they put in the James Webb Telescope and I think it took it a Thousand Miles, maybe further, no matter what, and it will come back when the most glorious images of what God has made and cast the stars with his hands and you see this magnificent painting and I never thought that I was raised very poor and I was not ashamed of that, but I like works of art and those are works of art at their finest, like God, but they look like jewels. hanging out there but you don't realize the space between all that and yet he just made it happen, that's amazing.

I thank God for that, yes, I think so and I think it's going to sound crazy, but I can't, thank you. God, he created that star called our son because when I walk out of my office, the executive I met, yeah, you're in a little Tuna, it's cool, but as soon as I stepped out into the sunlight, I did. I just went immediately felt that heat that thing is 93 million miles away from us explode nuclear yeah I mean nuclear we could be here for days thinking about all the things we're really grateful for that oh I and I do I thank you to God who called Me to preach the gospel.

I negotiated with him for many years because I always thought he was not qualified, but you know what the Lord told me. Jesse, thank you. I gave God a gift. Do you know what I'm going to do? I'll tell you something Kathy and I do during the

holiday

s. We like to give a gift to God. How do you give a gift to God? I mean, I'll show you sometimes we're going to put it under the tree and I said we'll bless you. Know? As the Lord tells us, we will bless, usually, a Ministry or something like that, we need to do something a little more, yeah, a truck, a piece, you know, uh, wide open for pieces, that candy, it that's going to trigger, oh yes, yes, I'll trigger. a lot I have a lot of things in the song Deliverance little Jingles oh I mean I want to say a lot and uh and uh but uh I just like to do that and the Lord said thank you once I gave him something he said, you know Jesse, I didn't ask you that, I said, I know, he said, why did you do it, I said because I just wanted to be a blessing to you that really blesses God, you know, sometimes Meredith comes to me. my granddaughter or my daughter Jody and I were just walking and I had things on my mind, you know, and Jody just grabbed me and hugged me, and I said thank you, I mean, you know, because I was so busy, but I still took It's time to receive that quote, love and brought a piece.

I don't know that she loved me. That's not the problem, but there's something about it. You know, it's a great blessing. It's safe to say that Kathy and I don't save enough to be miserable. I have seen it. some people saved miserably, so you know, I just thank God and I'm going to say this, uh, your mother now, at that time, you've seen this, she's 91 years old and she's still here, that's good, yeah, It's a wonderful thing, you know, she sends me. little text messages every morning and I always reply little emojis and funny things, yeah, and all that kind of stuff, well my mom is in heaven, my whole family, except all my uncles, my aunts, except one aunt , my Barbara in Jonesboro, Louisiana, and uh, I mean, and most.

All of my grandparents are gone, you know, I have a brother still alive and my part, my older brother is gone and I went to heaven and so did my sister, but I thank God for leaving, I will see him again. That's right, you know, November 50th, my older brother's birthday, and you know I was two years older than you, yeah, he was two years older than me and he left about two years ago, those are the stories most funny Wayne, yeah, yeah, Wayne was you and me. I know what I have I was born like I said and I said: Yes, most of them are good and I think the Lord allowed him to hear it.

I said Hi, Wayne, happy thing. I'm happy birthday, but I'll tell you what Thanksgiving is. Could you take it to the bank? My brother would call me Hi Jeff, this is Wayne, you know he had that Wayne, huh. Happy Thanksgiving Christmas and don't forget the first time he passed away, he passed away. I didn't receive my phone. calling for Christmas didn't bother me much I thought wait and the Lord said well you can still talk because today they are more alive than when they were physically here that's not like that, you know, it's a comfort to be a Christian because we believe in the resurrection and the life that is a consolation man thank God Lord thank you for doing that and letting you know what you think well I don't have much you know it doesn't take much to say thank you you know just getting them every day on earth is a good day, think about that and all those things wonderful, it is a great blessing from the Lord and I love the

holiday

s because you know people are especially in the Christmas season, they had a better mood, why do you know which one it is?

Holy Spirit oh yeah, it's cool and people don't even realize, they may be thinking about gifts and that's good, I don't have a problem with that, but I just thank the Lord for everything he has done and is going to do. Amen and that peace of God. That happened well, understand it, then look at what he says, let's go to verse 8. And then he says, finally brother, this is Paul writing to the church in Phil Phillip, what are your other things? They are pure everything they are lovable everything they are a good report if there is any virtue and if there is any praise think about these things look how many things Paul gave us to say thank you for think about that true honest just pure lovely good report virtue, praise man, we'll never run out of things to say.

Thank you so much. I love that you know. I mean, people say this isn't very deep board work, it's deeper than most because it shows love and appreciation for what you've done, that's right. well and the fashionable translation of verse 8 says it so keep your thoughts continually fixed on everything that is authentic and real honorable and admirable beautiful and respectful pure and holy merciful and kind and fix your thoughts on every glorious work of God praising him always It's all he does is glorious, that's a great way to be grateful is when you fix your thoughts on all these things that he's already done and that keeps a grateful spirit in your heart and that's a spirit receptive to God's blessing, okay, that's what I tell people.

They say, well, God sent those canceling people, no, he doesn't do that, no, no, he's not that kind of God, where are you going to get it? There is no one sick in heaven. I'm thinking where he's going to get it from. See, that's it. Much of that is a religious lie that has been perpetrated by Satan and the church preaches it to try to teach you something. Listen, I don't have to have cancer to know that. I don't want him because I've seen what he does to people. Well, look, it's the real manifestation of what Satan does steals life kills life destroys life steals kills and destroys that's exactly what he does that's true look what I'm saying but Jesus came to give life in fullness until it overflows yeah and that's why I believe in the joy of the Lord, you know, I bet people say, do you ever get sad?

No, not really, I mean, it has to be something really important that makes me sad and, uh, uh, but I also understand, I know my beginning. I know my half and I know my end, you see, I read the book. The Bible shows me my beginning, it shows me my half as I'm going through this world in life and then my end, but then my end becomes my greatest beginning because then it really begins to live in the eternities of eternities, you see what I'm saying, really start to live, my God, think about that, that's why I love Christianity, because it's so wonderful to know who I've believed in, yeah, and now I'm convinced, you say. what you want to do what you want to do I mean, we can always complain about how bad the world is and how bad it is out there listen, but you know, today I thank God when I did my devotional, I thought I said, you know what It's it's so wonderful that I can boldly approach your throne of grace that I can sit in His presence, I mean, my God, that's the best thing ever and then what Mandy said about me, that and you know that was wonderful. , wonderful and she is a partner, yes, well, I am grateful for the opportunity that we can share the good news, what has transformed Our Lives, what is up with you who are watching in our

chat

s that you tune in all the time.

This is from Roxanne in Australia because they are looking from all sides before reading, tell people that the baskets we gave for Thanksgiving just picked the neighborhood out of nowhere, well, we feel like we prayed about it and we We felt led to a local neighborhood near the church and, we had, we gave the church the opportunity to be able to give ourselves, so we wanted to buy these tote bags instead of a basket, we brought a nice big black tote bag and filled it with groceries plus a gift card, uh, so they can buy fresh turkey or a ham, whatever they wanted, and I think the church gave and uh, we compiled them, put them together as a team and brought them after church on Sunday .

We were planning to do it on Saturday, but the weather was bad in the area, so we brought it. It was the Sunday after church, they distributed 75 bags that blessed the families and it was an incredible blessing for those who were giving and for those who were well. You told me that people were very surprised and appreciated it a lot. Partners. You did that, our church did that, forgive us. You see every time someone is a member of our church and they give you that's a partner. You may be living in I don't know Timbuktu, Michigan.

Oregon, uh, I know New York, New York or I don't know where, well, thank you, yes, I want to thank you and if you want to become a member, you can do it today.

I'll never get tired of doing that. I will never get tired of working your seed to produce 30 to 60 to 100 times a thousand times. I'm very grateful that I can believe that God put that in Mark chapter four in Mark chapter 10. Think about that, so you weren't ready to read one, yeah, and when you said these are wonderful testimonies, I guess you know. We can't thank you enough. I don't think we've ever had a

boardroom

talk without testimonials. I think we may have missed some of them, but yes, a lot of them to read and read. a sample of them Roxanne greets from Australia oh my goodness, God has been speaking to me about delighting in the Lord and He will give me the desires of my heart.

I had been asking him to restore my love for him as I seem to do. I've been going a bit off lately and I felt like I had to do it religiously, but yeah, after listening to you yesterday, it was very refreshing and now, today, I'm reveling in it and I'm already so excited that my relationship is back to what it was before. His God praise God and thank you you know when you delight in the Lord you know what that is are treasures and wait for the treasures of God if you delight so much really grant yourself the desires of your heart that are treasures and wait my God God wants to do a lot , you know, uh, it's a blessing, a reasonable, I know you have a lot of yes, these are people rotting from all over the world that Victorious is watching from New Zealand, the Kruger family says good night, all blessings and love. from I can't tell what the name is show me let me see this yes say that Kathy I've done my best we love it and we learn a lot from every talk and sermon hey what a blessing ozamia says good night watching from Nigeria Rhonda says Aloha and good afternoon from Hawaii Hawaii Christine says you have to put the v there I'll let you do that's what they say Christine says tomorrow from the Philippines she loves to interrupt me Larson says greetings from Poland this is one that I as well can't pronounce it Casey cosmoto I sound almost Japanese yes when I say and I'm sure I'm saying it wrong he says I love you both very much we love you too he says and I'm learning the word every time I listen to you I also see the Covenant and the Faith expressed the facts much much love from South Africa South Africa I love it, it's a beautiful country, oh my gosh, I think she means they are referring to Bible study, the election.

Governor Rachel's Bible Study says greetings from Papua New Guinea. I have been following JDM for the last six months on YouTube and my husband and I have become his partners, hallelujah, praise, God is so wonderful, you know, ladies and gentlemen, if everyone watching were partners. I can touch this world. I know how to do it. I was preaching that night and I told the people. I said, "Give me a thousand dollars. I'll get a thousand people saved in four or five days. Just from that on those social media. I know it." how to do that I know how to reach people and change lives one song I spend on myself I mean I just do that I'm already a blessed man and God has been so good and great I can't thank you enough for that and then Heather says I'm getting into it.

I am walking towards a radical change. My relationship with God has really grown and I have never had peace before. It is wonderful. Thank you for spreading the truth of God's word well. That's what we do. I mean there's no other choice in the matter and I mean we honestly just enjoy the presence of God and I don't think a day goes by, huh, but to not thank God in some way, shape or form everywhere, even the little things and things. of that nature just everything you know last week um I would like you to do something if you don't mind uh this is Thanksgiving the Sunday before Thanksgiving uh Kathy asked me to preach at Covenant Church and I preached a summary called the big reward and I think I don't know if they did they re-ran that George they were able to find it on the app so it's new it's just you know it's hot.

I could probably put a link on this, that's why I was so excited that's why I went out preaching like crazy I had to slow down you know, crazy because the reward is coming buddy and I and that's all I'm going to tell you, you will bless and millions of people are already talking about it. They say man, I mean, it was a great blessing because God wants to be a blessing to you and what will come out of your mouth when this happens is thank you. I was thinking about how, uh, when Jesus had the crowds that were around and he, the people wanted, needed something to eat, so he told his disciples to feed them, you know, but he gathered it together.

He sat him down and blessed, he thanked the Lord before not asking God, he multiplied. just grateful and then the Lord multiplied the food it is one of the five thousand five thousand greatest only men it is one of the most important words in the English language or any language thank you yes and think about it even before Lazarus was resurrected from the dead Jesus said: I thank you, Father, that you always listen to me. Cajun Rose rose from the dead. Thanks for making that clear to everyone, the kids have gotten through this. Yes, before Jesus was resurrected, he brought Lazarus, says, "Come ahead, Lazarus, but he came fifth." I know that's what we're both thinking, it's an old joke we heard.

I mean, it's a huge blessing, so we don't want to keep you too long because I know you're spending time with your wonderful family. I hope you think. about us today and uh because we're going to think about you and as you enjoy your family and enjoy God Almighty in Jesus Christ my Lord, you know and before you go to sleep tonight say Lord, thank you for such a great and glorious day, thank you. Lord we had the opportunity to be with family and friends and let me tell you this some of you said but I don't have family or friends but you had God, he will never leave you, he will never abandon you, right?

Think about it so I'm telling you there have been times when you know I've been away from Kathy a lot of times you know preach things and people were like boy you gotta be alone. Lesson no, I don't feel alone, why? Because God is with you. To me, yes, he never leaves me or abandons me, so I want to say to Kathy and me, to your family, to all of our friends and to our wonderful partners, well, first say thank you, thank you for being a partner, yes, and you might want to do it. something I think I know, I have the generous spirit about me because going out for those purchases, you know, some people can't afford to have that, remember the time I went to Wendy's and we were ordering a cheeseburger or something and That lady was waiting, the Lord said, give her a hundred dollars and she started to cry.

She was a black, a beautiful black lady and honey, and she said, "Oh God, I'll be able to have a Thanksgiving meal." I left and came back maybe two or three. Weeks later we stopped the windows and caught it and she was there and said, Oh, we had the most glorious meal I was blessed to know. I don't forget those things, so thank you, yes, and have a glorious, wonderful Thanksgiving before they're gone. If you don't mind, I feel like we need to pray and bless them, yes, could you pray? God, father, we thank you to everyone who watches and tunes into our

chat

, some of them may be seeing it for the first time, yes. surround them with your love and your presence we bless them in the name of Jesus Lord let them feel your presence right where they are and touch them and write to them so that they realize that we have much to be grateful for Lord we thank you for your blessing on their life today in the name of Jesus, yes, amen, here's a good little song.

Thank you Lord, it is a beautiful thing we sing about. All I want to thank you for is that it's just amazing. Go ahead and sing it well. Not me, why? Don't you sing a little, let him hear your voice, you started it, no, I want good memories, Chris is there, we can get Chrissy to come here and she can sing it, no, anyway, thanks for everything you do, even next, this is Jesse and Kathy says we love you, yes, Happy Thanksgiving, bye, this media is copyrighted by Jesse Duplantis Ministries for the private use of our audience.
